dc.description.abstract | The worship circle of Fulin Temple in Pingzhen District covers six villages: Zhuangjing, Fulin, Shanfeng, Yongguang, Yongfeng, and Yong′an. It holds significant geographical importance and serves as a cultural and religious center for the local Hakka community. However, the decline of the ideological significance of Fulin Temple has led to the disappearance of Hakka ethnic identity. As the current village chief of Fulin Village, the author aims to understand the collaborative efforts between public and private sectors and the third sector in organizing Hakka cultural activities in Hakka temples.
Through in-depth interviews and observations involving government agencies, private sectors, temple personnel, and local elders, the author intends to establish the operational models and frameworks for the promotion and preservation of the cultural heritage of Fulin Temple and to revitalize the Hakka community in the metropolitan area of Pingzhen, Taoyuan. This research aims to explore the impact of Hakka cultural development in the designated area, the perception and impression of the invisibilization of Hakka ethnic groups by public and private sectors, the planning of cultural development in Hakka temples by the government, and the discussion and organization of collaborative efforts between public and private sectors and the third sector regarding the cultural development of Fulin Temple. The thoughts and suggestions of government agencies, private sectors, temple personnel, and local believers on the current promotion of Hakka temple culture will be analyzed and discussed based on the interview content.
The study focuses on the enhancement of Hakka cultural promotion through public-private collaboration. For instance, in the case of Fulin Temple, the participation of government agencies in cultural activity planning is not high, and their biased and passive approach has contributed to the gradual decline of temple culture deeply rooted in local communities. In future research, it may be explored whether the continuity of regional temple activities can be extended. Additionally, the connection between different temples in various regions or the integration and planning of different Hakka cultural elements using local religious centers can be achieved through proactive coordination by government agencies, creating a more comprehensive network system of public-private collaboration. This could also address issues related to temple land ownership and disputes with local organizations in Taiwan, serving as a key direction for future observation and promotion of Hakka temple culture. The author hopes to preserve the historical and developmental records of Fulin Temple through the compilation of relevant literature and the collection of firsthand information from interviews with local believers. | en_US |
